Has Anyone Seen My Keys? ...and Other General Musings of Two Twenty-Somethings: Char: (September) A Fresh Start

So, as SB so graciously pointed out to me last night, I’ve officially been in this new weird place for 30 days, minus the week of vacation.

~~~~~~~~

Time out for vacation:

So, as it turns out, Seattle is my soul city. I belong there. But, I’m also here with my soulmate, so, if I can’t have both, I guess I’ll take SB. Seattle was amazing. We ate delicious fresh food, we attended a great beautiful pinteresty outdoor wedding, we saw old friends (because we’re old enough to have old friends now), it was great. Then we got to go down to the Bay and see some extra special people, go to the Tech Museum, see the fish at the Monterey Bay Aquarium (my happy place). I hung out with an octopus for about 30 minutes. They have 4 right now. We also got to watch sharks being reintroduced into a large tank environment, which was fantastic. Then we came back and I got ferociously sick for a week and a half, and I’m just now feeling excellent again.

The next ten days will start a whole new chapter of my life. First, we’re moving into a whole new place! I found a way to make my big green couch an accent piece for the new living room, and it’s going to be amazing! I can’t wait to finally settle in. I have some great things ahead. We’ll also finally be able to make a place OUR own, instead of mine, or his. I know it might be a painful process at times, but I believe in us! I’ve continued to look at different job prospects and today I’m getting a new driver’s license like an adult. I’m also going to start an official work out with a gym and everything, so someone else can hold me accountable for my physical well-being until I can figure out how to do it on my own. I’m stressed about where my life is headed, yes, but who isn’t? I think this is just how life feels. I’m going to learn a lot about myself in the next few months, and I can’t wait to see what it is!

Small victories:

As I understand it, our new neighborhood is a pretty high traffic trick or treating area- which is something I’ve never had before, I can’t wait!
I have no dirty laundry in this apartment. WHAT. UP.
While we spent more than we intended, groceries with healthy options for me are in the refrigerator! (and SB didn’t even notice that I did it. Muahaha)
Peanut ate his food today. Thank goodness.
